Adopted

Bandit is a 70 lb neutered male who was surrendered locally. He was adopted out at 4 months by us but turned in because the toddler was too rough with him. He was a bit anxious around the toddler, so we think it best to offer Bandit a home with kids 12 and up so they can interact more comfortably. He is a very friendly dog and loves people; he is house trained and LOVES to ride in the car. He pulls a little on leash so excited to get to the next spot but some training will help him. He has a lot of energy so an active home is best. He should have a fenced yard to keep him safe. He would run if off leash. He likes the water and loves the snow. He does have some food allergies but these are easily managed.

Brooklyn is an adorable little 4 month old pup who is friendly and joyful. We discovered her at the Humane Society of St. Thomas. She was in a yard with a dozen other dogs the same age, all larger than her. She plays with all and is affectionate with all. What a cute girl. She will be available 2/17/15 if her foster Mom can dig out and get her here. She is not to be missed! She will be at our weekend Meet & Greet 12-3.

Chief is a delightful 1-2 yr old little Terrier Mix. He is playful and very loving. He would make a wonderful family pet as he adores people of all ages. He likes all other dogs and is fine with cats inside but outdoors will chase them. He is house trained and good on leash. He loves taking long walks, playing and exploring. There can not be enough said about the happy delightful spirit. He is ready to join his forever family. He does enjoy cuddling and getting lots of attention. He was raised with an older gentleman that recently passed away from cancer. Chief is not fond of being in a crate. He does not get into things though and has never chewed anything. He has spent a lot of time free in the house without any problems. He rides well in the car and is content to sit beside you. Families with kids under 12 must have a fenced yard. No phone calls, please fill out our application at www.saveadog.org. Local families preferred as we have received many applications and inquiries on him.

Darla is a young, adorable girl from WV. Her temporary foster mom says: She was a sweetheart to have as a houseguest. She will make a wonderful addition to someone's family. She likes to chew on marrow bones. She is spayed and up to date on vaccines. She will be available soon.

Hazel is a senior looking to find a cozy quiet home to rest on her laurels. She has been living outside for a very long time. She is a sweet, quiet and low energy dog despite the neglect. She is really hoping to find her loving home here. She would love a senior parent or a quiet home to become her hospice home. She is very easy to have around and requires love only! She is spayed. Because she is older our vet ran extensive blood work on her and we did a chest xray and ultrasound. She just has a bit of bronchitis that is clearing up. One eye is smaller than the other, probably due to an old injury. It's not bothering her so surgery is not needed. She also has some cracked teeth which aren't bothering her. We have her on a remedy to regulate the thyroid and we see an improvement in her coat already. She's on the raw diet to jump start her health and is responding well. She's the easiest dog on earth and is content to lie on her bed or to explore the yard. Access to a back yard makes her happy. She is a love! Hazel will be at Sunday's Meet & Greet only.

Itsy Bitsy is playful and lovable. She was supposed to arrive with her brother Sam earlier this month but ran away. We were thrilled when we found out she had returned to her WV foster home. She is not so itsy bitsy now she weighs about 40 lbs. She has a lot to offer an active family. A fenced in yard would be best in case she decides to follow her nose, a hound trait. Families with kids under 12 must have a physical fence attached to the house. Apply now for this delightful pup. You won't be disappointed. She was born August 30th. Her mom was a hound.

Jessie is a beautiful Whippet mix from WV. She is smaller than she looks and weighs about 25 lbs, a tiny girl. She loves to cuddle and will leap right in your lap for snuggling with you. She wants to be someone's lap dog! She is a little head shy but warms up quickly and will be your friend for life for a few nice pats and a lap. A fenced yard would keep her safe but she is more interested in being with her person than alone outside. She will be at our shelter today 12-3 for the meeting and greet on 2/16.

Lamar is a tiny pup who is so smart and is eager to learn. He loves to play, play, play! From his foster: " He loves to cuddle with us when we are on the "doggie couch" or if we are taking a quick nap.

She is independent and will sleep alone through the night. She has many husky traits in that she talks and she LOVES the outdoors.

Samson is a sweet 11 year old blind Jack Russell who came to us from WV. His owner didn't take care of him and he was allowed to run out into the highway every day. It's a miracle he is still alive. Through his owner's neglect he became blind, although you would never know it. He gets around just fine and is great with other dogs. He is not a fan of cats though so a no cat home is best. He knows how to use a dog door to go in and out. He has been waiting to find his right home and we have promised him just that; he deserves the perfect home for himself. He is available. He is on a special diet for food allergies, which we will supply. To meet Samson is to love him. He has a LOT to offer an adopter as he has the animated personality that you see in a Jack Russell. He gets along great with all dogs he's met so far. Please fill out an application if you are interested in meeting him. Please help us raise funds for his recent dental in which he had many extractions and a whopping bill of $1800. We've raised $170 so far. SAMSON WILL NOT BE AT OUR MEET & GREETS.

He is a clown and stalks moving objects, pouncing on them playfully with his front paws. He is assured enough that he will happily play in his crate alone.

She has met and played with people of all ages, showing no fear with anyone. She greets both my dogs (14lb and 21lb) with enthusiasm through the pen.
